Diagenesis of an 'overmature' gas reservoir: The Spiro sand of the Arkoma Basin, USA Diagenesis of an 'overmature' gas reservoir: The Spiro sand of the Arkoma Basin, USA
The Spiro sand is a laterally extensive thin sandstone of earliest Atokan (Pennsylvanian) age that forms a major natural gas reservoir in the western Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma. Petrographic analysis reveals a variety of diagenetic alterations, the majority of which occurred during moderate to deep burial. Early diagenetic processes include calcite cementation and the formation of Fe-clay...

Rotational reflectance properties of Arkoma Basin dispersed vitrinite: Insights for understanding reflectance populations in high thermal maturity regions Rotational reflectance properties of Arkoma Basin dispersed vitrinite: Insights for understanding reflectance populations in high thermal maturity regions
Analysis and interpretation of dispersed vitrinite reflectance data in regions of high thermal maturity (> 2% vitrinite reflectance) have been equivocal partly because of an increase in width and complexity of reflectance histograms with increasing mean reflectance. Such complexity is illustrated by random reflectance (Rran) data from the Arkoma Basin that display a linear increase in...
